Fried Cauliflower

cauliflower (about 4 cups of florets)

flour (gluten-free flour mixes work great!)

tbsp corn starch (or potato starch)

tsp baking soda

tsp baking powder

salt ((reduce

garlic powder

onion powder

turmeric

water

oil (for frying)

Wash the head of cauliflower under running water then shake the water off of it.

Cut the cauliflower florets off the head of cauliflower and into bite-sized pieces removing the large stem in the center of the head.  (Try to keep the pieces a similar size, so they cook at the same rate).

Prepare the Cauliflower:

Put the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (Flour, corn starch, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, baking soda, and baking powder).

Pour in the water and stir the batter until it becomes a smooth paste.

Put the cauliflower pieces into the batter and toss until well coated.

Make the batter:

Heat oil to 334°F (168°C)°.

Use tongs to pick up the pieces of coated cauliflower and place them into the hot oil.  (It will bubble and spatter so stand back).

Allow to cook in the oil for 2-3 minutes until the bubbling slows down and the cauliflower nuggets are golden brown.

Immediately remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serve hot!
